First of all: I love taking long walks with my dog, which is a perfect occasion for thinking about all sorts of things. However, sometimes I tend to think too hard about one thing, which I can stop by reading good books. To stay in shape I go swimming as often as I can, and jolly-boat sailing.
The little time left I spent with my family (sometimes the complain that it's not enough time) and discussing with friends.

I am reliable, loyal, and close to nature

During the last two years, I changed my life essentially. Before, I was trapped in the probably well-known circle of work, being tired out, more work, being even more tired out etc.
It was clear that something had to change, but I needed a trigger. This trigger was my dog. I had to take care about her, get myself up and out into nature (daily and in any kind of weather), and suddenly it was all easy: reduce the working time, start going in for sports, even change my nutrition (which I tried for years without success).
The result was that I lost about 12 kilos and feel better than ever. Maybe you know the feeling that you just don't fit into your body. That will never happen again.

Books: mainstream like the "Lord Of The Rings" and "Harry Potter". But apart from that I'm crazy about historical novels, especially by Rebecca Gablé und Ken Follet.
In my youth I was a Beatles fan (I still am, but I listen to their music not too often anymore). Since I visited one of his concerts, I think James Blunt is absolutely great. Words and music perfectly fit together ... I know, this might be a bit uncommen for men :-)

you're looking for new friends to talk or write to :-)
